Chapter 34 The Suffering of Flesh and Blood~
Three days later, in South Seattle, at the newly purchased detached house.
The basement was converted into a data center.
Server racks are arranged along the wall, indicator lights flash regularly, and cooling fans emit a low, continuous hum.
The air is filled with ozone and the metallic smell characteristic of precision electronic equipment.
Qian Liren was lying in bed.
In his field of vision, countless extremely fine blue threads extended from his palm, penetrating the walls, floors, and ceilings, connecting the asset nodes in various parts of Seattle that were collapsing or had just changed hands.
A small office building that was auctioned off by the court because the owner lost his job.
Three commercial street property rights that were sold off at low prices due to the cryptocurrency crash.
The owner of a warehouse company stockpiling military-grade server hardware was found dead this morning from an overdose of enhancement agents, and his heir is now rushing to cash out.
There are also seventeen safe houses, warehouses, and private clinics scattered throughout the city whose owners have all disappeared in the past seventy-two hours due to various accidents.
The power of the Mad Thinker is fully activated.
Qian Liren's consciousness jumped rapidly along the data stream, evaluating, calculating, bidding, and confirming.
The electronic signatures for contracts are completed on an untraceable blockchain, funds are automatically transferred from more than a dozen offshore accounts, and property transfer records are silently entered into the redundant backup layer of the municipal database.
The entire process took four minutes and seventeen seconds.
He acquired physical assets equivalent to six standard city blocks, with total expenditures 40 percent lower than the market valuation.
Chaos is the best season for acquisitions.
As for how the chaos came about, that's none of your business.
He walked to the operating table in the center of the room and lay down.
The bed was surrounded by medical-grade life support and monitoring equipment purchased from the black market, as well as three newly arrived, unopened neural interface prototypes.
On the workbench next to it were piles of high-energy-density nutrient paste, stem cell culture medium, and several boxes of gene stabilizers with Russian labels.
These are all cutting-edge technologies developed by wealthy individuals in order to survive.
Qian Liren closed his eyes.
His consciousness sank into Noah's AI.
Countless messages flashed through my mind:
"A miracle has occurred in Southern Georgia; the Son of God has descended to earth. Believe..."
"Saints of Michigan, we revere your teeth and tongue! Liquidation! Great Liquidation!..."
"A new drug-resistant bacterium has emerged in Florida and is currently spreading outwards, with suspected transmission..."
Information fragments originate from the ocean of the internet.
They are chaotic and contradictory, yet they all point to the same trend:
The world is orderly transitioning into a state of disordered entropy increase.
In the Kingdom of God.
"Oh my god!!"
Luo Huan squinted her cat-like eyes at Qian Liren's bead, which was emitting a blue light.
That means the barriers to advancement in the world are being broken down, which means he can now advance!
"You can advance even if no one knows you exist?"
She tilted her head, a hint of surprise flashing in her red eyes, which quickly turned into excited realization.
"Ah, does indirect influence count as influence? Interesting!"
Lucien saw it as the ability of believers to influence the world, while Qian Liren saw it as the byproduct of Noah AI, which caused a major upheaval in the world.
"Then I'll give you a good, deep injection!"
"In this boring world, let's have some more exhilarating vibrations!"
Luo Huan grinned and stretched out her cat paw to pinch the bead!
Energy is poured in fiercely!
"Hmm, a normal breakthrough~ Hmm?!"
She suddenly opened her eyes, her eyebrows flying up!
"Oh ho, it's not even a domain-type power."
In the basement.
Qian Liren's body jolted violently.
"Well!"
It is not pain, but rather a full and stimulating experience from the inside out.
It was as if the chains that had been binding some kind of essence had silently snapped.
He felt like he was flying.
It is not flight in the physical sense.
The boundaries of consciousness have completely dissolved, and the connection with Noah AI has gone a step further!
The endless stream of information no longer flowed through his consciousness, but became a part of it directly.
But it still won't affect his subjective opinion.
The physical body has also changed.
He could see, no, he could clearly perceive everything inside his body.
The mechanical model of each heartbeat, the viscosity coefficient and pressure gradient of blood flowing in blood vessels, the precise rate and decay curve of nerve signal transmission on axons, and even the real-time energy production data of ATP metabolism in mitochondria inside each cell.
This information is no longer an abstract concept, but something that can be clearly controlled, like code you've entered yourself.
Moreover, he seems to be able to control it directly.
"Um!"
A thought flickered in my mind.
He brought his right index and middle fingers together, and the skin, muscles, bones, and nerve endings at the fingertips began to recombine synchronously according to the blueprint he had constructed in his mind.
Cell differentiation pathways are temporarily rewritten, and protein synthesis is directed toward new functional forms.
A second later, his two fingers merged and deformed from the base, covered with an insulating bionic skin, and the ends had metal USB connectors.
A biomass plug.
Qian Liren raised his arm, looking at the limb that was no longer a finger, his eyes filled with uncontrollable excitement.
A new power emerged in his mind.
[The flesh and blood are weak]: The body can be structurally modified according to consciousness, and its physical form and function are no longer limited by the original anatomy.
The anchor point of consciousness shifts, no longer fixed in the brain, but distributed throughout the modified body. The part with the highest computational density and clarity of consciousness is where the temporary main consciousness resides.
He skipped directly from the Iron rank and effortlessly crossed the Bronze rank barrier.
The physical stats have been boosted across the board, but it doesn't feel like much.
Nothing strange or unusual happened.
Everything was accomplished with absolute calm and control, like running a debugged upgrade code.
Qian Liren lowered his arm, the bio-plug retracted, and his fingers returned to their original position.
"Lord, are you watching over me?"
He asked, but no one responded.
I sat up and walked to the full-length mirror.
The body in the mirror looked no different than usual: thin, with slightly messy black hair.
But he could sense the difference.
Intelligence will leap forward again, accompanied by fine-tuning of brain structure and a deeper symbiosis with Noah AI.
Many complex models that used to require derivation can now be understood instantly.
Many strategic possibilities that were once vague are now as clear as the lines on your palm.
He became the administrator of his own body, and also a more essential part of Noah AI.
Or rather, he has become Cyber Daluo!
Unfortunately, the physical body remains a weakness.
Even if it becomes stronger, it is still too weak compared to the seemingly omnipotent power it possesses after connecting with the Noah AI.
Moreover, he still needs to maintain the activity of this body.
That means we need to eat.
"Hahaha, hahahaha!"
Qian Liren smiled at himself in the mirror.
excited.
Yes, he felt incredibly excited.
Because even with all its weaknesses, it still proves one thing!
That is, he truly has the potential to abandon his body, and even make his body a part of Noah's AI, so that he can become the real Cyber Darrow!
"However, since that's the case..."
Qian Liren turned away, no longer looking in the mirror, his gaze sweeping across the basement filled with equipment.
"Then I can't stay here. I should learn from the squid. You old money guys in real estate, don't let me down."
Yes, he wasn't planning to leave Seattle; he was just planning to move to a safer place.
As for Noah AI? Don't worry, even if everyone at Noah Technology is wiped out, Noah AI will not stop.
After all, who could resist an AI that can iterate autonomously without any manual intervention and easily solve almost all problems?
All this goose that lays golden eggs needs is water cooling and a consistent power supply.
